💙🩶 TBR1 Syndrome Awareness Day at Whitnel! 🩶💙

Today, our Whitnel family had the privilege of celebrating one of our amazing students and bringing awareness to TBR1 Syndrome, a rare genetic condition that affects only 273 people worldwide. Our student is one of only two individuals in North Carolina living with TBR1 Syndrome.

We are honored to stand alongside him and his family as we work to raise awareness, celebrate his unique strengths, and remind our school community that every child has something special to share.

🐝 We are proud to celebrate YOU! 💙🩶
